Coffee Roastery · Lisbon
RoastedSlow.Servedbold.
A small-batch coffee roastery in the old print district. Vinyl on the speakers, espresso at the bar, hands on the beans. Open since 2014, mostly to ourselves.

— what we actually do here
Four rituals
of the house.
Roasted beans. Records. Espresso. Room. The four things that make this place ours — repeated weekly, polished slowly, and never quite finished.
— Tuesday roast
01
the bean
Small batch roasting.
Drum roasted in twelve-kilo batches, three times a week. We watch the colour change through a tiny window — by eye, by smell, by ear. The beans rest seven days before they reach you.
— weekly rotation
— side B, friday
02
the music
Vinyl & coffee nights.
Every Friday at eight, we open the back door, swap the espresso machine for a record player, and pour cocktails out of vintage glassware until midnight. Bring your own LP, leave with someone else's.
— fridays from 20:00
— morning pull
03
the craft
Handcrafted espresso.
Two-group lever machine, mid-1960s, restored in our workshop. Every cup is pulled by hand at exactly nine bars. Pressure, time, temperature — the three things we don't compromise on.

the room
Creative workspace.
Long communal tables, slow wifi, no laptops on Sundays. The corner under the print shop window is unofficially reserved for whoever shows up first with a manuscript. Pencils on the house.

Six small drinks,
made by hand.
Posted on the chalkboard every Monday. Change with the season, the weather and the mood of the kitchen.

Notes from the regulars.
